Quote:The 'Unlimited Escapism' series reminds me of ye olde demoscene demos...Maybe not so "ye olde"...the demoscene still lives. The archives go all the way back to the dawn of those demos, and you can still find such gems as the legendary Second Reality (which still runs on modern PCs thanks to emulators like DosBox). But demos are still being made, and some of them are quite cool. The "magic" isn't really there anymore though, from when these demos pushed the limits of computer hardware and made you do doubletakes, saying "I didn't know computers could DO that!" In these modern times of full motion video and movie playback on computers, real-time rendered whiz-bang graphics and sound don't pack quite the punch they did back then. Now I'm getting all nostalgic for the days when things you'd see on a PC would just amaze you and make you wonder what was possible...
Now I'm risking thread derailment. Who stickied this thing, anyway?
